| Boracay Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see i_2 Samir Bzazrah Boracay Island combines crystal clear waters, sugary beaches and lush landscapes into an idyllic tourist haven that is guaranteed to fascinate and lull visitors into tranquil harmony with its simplistic beauty. Travellers commonly refer to Boracay as a heart stomping, unbelievably magical Island in the middle of the Philippines. A paradise set in the South China Sea. The small island, only seven kilometers long and one kilometer wide at its narrowest point, is located just off the northern tip of Panay Island. The northern and southern parts of the island rise with elevations of 100 meters above sea level. The Island has numerous scattered villages interconnected by a maze of intriguing jungle pathways. Boracay boasts the world's finest beaches - a broad 3.5 kilometer stretch of sun-drenched sand, washed by perpetually turquoise-ish water, a nature worshipper's heaven on earth. White Beach runs almost the entire length of the western side of the island. During the peak season (December till July) White Beach is ideal for day frolics in its warm water, to cool off from those sweaty summer's tropical heat. During this period the opposite, eastern side, forms the windward shore, with almost continuous onshore winds and protective reef that are ideal for both the Scuba divers and Surfers. The eastern shore also contains numerous shelter homes, rewarding the ardent student-backpackers with many great scenic spots. The main beaches are dotted with water sports outlets, offering the latest equipment for rental and expert instruction at reasonable prices for Scuba Diving, Wind Surfing. Boracay is becoming Asia's most popular to-go area with good shallow coral dives and nightlife within easy reach. For more leisurely pursuits, many local hotels and holiday resorts offer all-day around the island trips by motorized bangkas and paraws (native sailing boats), with stop-offs at the northern caves, near Yapak, home of Boracay's giant fruit bats, locally called "Flying Foxes" and the 'Kar-tir' Sea Shell Museum with Filipino shells on displays in Ilig-Iligan. The island's center extends a natural invitation to hike or mountain bike its many trails, criss-crossing its gently hilly slopes, while offering occasional glimpses of far-off sandy coves, fringed by palm trees....really...it sounds so exciting, I could come in there right now. Your hike could extend to Puka Shell Beach, located on the Island's northern tip, facing Carabao Island. Puka Beach is the home of Boracay's famous and at one time plentiful Puka shells. At sunset, a walk along the length of White Beach attracts many early evening walkers, before the serenity of the ocean views are over-taken by the awakening of Boracay's night life, offering numerous economically priced restaurants, discos, and bars that add an international affair to the evening. At the end of the day, watch the spectacular sunsets from the beachfront bars which offer expertly mixed tropical cocktails to titillate your early evening loins. Boracay offers an ideal escape from civilised civilization, but if one needs to remain in contact with the rest of the world, international phone, fax and e-mail services are always available. Boracay is on the brink of a worldwide epidemic, which within the next five years will probably convert its current tranquillity into the hub-bub of a major commercialized venues. __________Beaches Edit This Puka Shell Beach Puka Shell Beach Sirenna Puka Beach Puka Beach was named after the famous Puka Shells which were popular as jewelry in the 60's and 70's. Such large numbers of them were collected from the beach that sadly there are hardly any left now. This is a nice place to spend an afternoon - much more peaceful than White Beach. There are a few bead sellers around, and sometimes even an ice-cream vendor, but generally you'll be left in peace. You'll need to bring snacks or a picnic, some cold drinks, and snorkel gear. Look out for the cave too. Be aware that there can be strong currents here, and the beach drops off quite sharply into the sea. Don't swim or snorkel too far out if you are not a confident swimmer. We sailed to Puka Beach on a native 'paraw' (outrigger boat) with Captain Joey of the 'Red Pirates'. We had a BBQ on the beach and a cooler full of beer - everything we needed really! Be sure to bring your camera to catch the sunset as you sail back, and if you are lucky you'll also witness the fruit bats flying overhead to get to their feeding site on the mainland. Contributors February 26, 2007 change by giorgio [Add Beach] Baling Hai Beach Edit This Baling Hai Beach is a quiet little spot far removed from the busy White Beach. It can be reached by the road, but it is far nicer to rent a little boat and sail around the coast to reach this peaceful cove. There is a small resort here with 5 little cottages on the hillside, and a restaurant at the top of the cliff serving lunches and fruit shakes. If you don't fancy taking on all those steps to the top of the cliff (there are a lot) your food and drinks will be lowered down the cliff-side in a basket, which is a novelty. This little more..

[Add Entertainment place] Bom Bom Bar Edit This If you are tired or listening to the loud hip hop and R'n'B that seems to be the staple in Boracay, Bom Bom Bar is a refreshing alternative. The funky decor attracts an eclectic crowd of arty and musical people from all over the world. They play a mix of reggae and ethnic sounds, and have live music nightly. The bar itself is very small, but there is a large garden area with unusual chairs and tables made from driftwood. type: Beer Gardens World66 rating: [rate it] address: White Beach, Boracay Juice Bar Edit This Juice Bar is located on the corner of the Plazoleta (near station 2), the arts and crafts center of Boracay. It's in a pretty busy area so there's always something going on and plenty of people around. Occasionally the musicians who run the shops next door to Juice will treat you to a live tribal jam with bongo drums and native instruments, and sponsored events are also common around the Plazoleta. The music tends to veer a heavily towards "R'n'B" but the decor is nice, and the staff are friendly. There are comfy cushions and beanbags more.. type: Clubs and dancing World66 rating: [rate it] ___________Things to do Edit This i mayeeh Set right in the heart of Uptown district in Cebu City, Mango Avenue, El Gecko Restobar.
